On the ground floor, there are two tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, and on the first floor, there are three sash windows also with glazing bars. The central entrance features a doorcase with half columns that are part fluted and part banded, topped with capitals and entablature blocks, and a baseless pedimented hood. The entrance has three-panel reveals and a pair of three-panel doors. Above the door, there is a fine arched fanlight with lead glazing bars arranged in a sunburst pattern, complemented by two ranks of swags. The farmhouse has a dentil eaves cornice and two end stacks on the west side. There is a two-storey flat-roofed addition and a hipped roof 19th-century service wing aligned with the main house. The farmhouse is balanced by Hall or House Farmhouse on the west side of New Houghton and appears in a block plan in Isaac Ware's Plans for Houghton from 1735, 1750 edition.
